So the wife and I checked out Daredevil the movie tonight. I've never been a big fan of daredevil, never got into the whole mystique of him. Plus I hate Ben Affleck and beginning to very much dislike Colin farrel. The movie started off ok, showed a good bit of how he became who he was, but I felt like the movie wrestled with itself. It kept trying to pull a Sam Raimi and be dorky cool, but then would also try to be this Evanensce bad ass movie that was too cool for school. Not sure what Evanecnce has to do with it, but their music was all over this movie and I think their music kind of sucks or really sucks, haven't listened to it to determine one way or the other.
.....I can't stand Ben Affleck and his voice over is just not good. Its trying to be like Toby Maquire's but its just not cutting it. Plus he comes off as a sleeze, which he is anyway so I guess it works out. I thought this was possibly one of the lamer well done super hero movies. I'm sure the hulk was worse but I never even bothered to see that as I knew it'd be stupid. Punisher, I'm not a fan of his either since all he is a guy with some guns and self destructive personality.
.....Nope Spiderman and Xmen seem to be the good superhero movies. But I think that genre's getting over played and they're going to have to pull the plug on it soon as I'm going to get sick of more sequals and bad remakes. I'm not looking foward to the new batman, I don't like the Scarecrow, and I think a new superman won't be done well. Thats my two cents
There are rumors of an extended director's cut of Daredevil to be released sometime in the near future, but personally, the movie sucked so bad that I'm not sure I want to see what the director really had in mind.
